Human ACAT1 antibody

By protein-A affinity chromatography

Human

ACAT1 (acetyl-Coenzyme A acetyltransferase 1) is a 417 amino acid protein. ACAT1 is a mitochondrial enzyme involved in the formation and degradation of ketone bodies and is necessary for the proper metabolic processing of isoleucine. ACAT1 and ACAT2 catalyze the formation of acetoacetyl-CoA from two acetyl-CoA molecules. These enzymes are also capable of the reverse reaction. Defects in ACAT1 are a cause of 3-ketothiolase deficiency. 3-ketothiolase deficiency is an inborn error of isoleucine catabolism characterized by intermittent ketoacidotic attacks associated with unconsciousness. Some patients die during an attack or are mentally retarded.

Recombinant human ACAT1 (34-427aa) purified from E. coli

The antibody has been tested by ELISA, Western blot and ICC/IF analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results.
